First 12 minutes of Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV

IGN has posted the first 12 minutes of Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV, the feature-length, CG movie set during the events of Final Fantasy XV.

Here’s a brief overview of the movie:

The magical kingdom of Lucis is home to the sacred Crystal, and the menacing empire of Niflheim is determined to steal it. King Regis of Lucis (Sean Bean) commands an elite force of soldiers called the Kingsglaive. Wielding their king’s magic, Nyx (Aaron Paul) and his fellow soldiers fight to protect Lucis. As the overwhelming military might of the empire bears down, King Regis is faced with an impossible ultimatum – to marry his son, Prince Noctis to Princess Lunafreya of Tenebrae (Lena Headey), captive of Niflheim, and surrender his lands to the empire’s rule. Although the king concedes, it becomes clear that the empire will stop at nothing to achieve their devious goals, with only the Kingsglaive standing between them and world domination.

Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV will launch in select theaters on August 19. It will release digitally on August 30 and physically on Blu-ray and DVD on October 4.
